BST vs CST
BST (British Summer Time) runs at UTC+1 and CST (Central Standard Time) at UTC−6. CST is normally 7 hours behind BST.
BST stays at UTC+1 all year round — it does not observe daylight saving time. CST is the standard time (UTC−6); when daylight saving is in effect it becomes CDT (UTC−5). The live clock on this page always shows the current offset.
BST is the summer time of the United Kingdom; in winter the UK is on GMT (UTC+0). CST can also refer to China Standard Time (UTC+8); this page covers North American Central Time.
